Guest Actor Directory: Over 1,100 guest actors appeared on The Avengers and The New Avengers.
Counting repeat appearances, that's around 2,000 entries. This directory lists all of the
credited and as many as possible of the unbilled appearances, sorted alphabetically by
last name. Actor names are accompanied by character names (if known) and episode titles,
with links to actor bios and episode review pages. The directory pages are quite large,
so please be patient when accessing them.

Actors making unbilled appearances are marked with (U/B). Wherever
possible, character names
appear in [brackets] for actors who receive screen credit with no character
name. New Avengers episodes
are in blue rows.
